I said "attempt" and I meant it; this was by no means perfect.  It was 
something I'd been meaning to do for a while, and figured the wake for 
cgf's laptop needed a little New Orleans jazz... (if ya get the metaphor)

TTTT, me too -- in the generic sense that "otters are always on their 
back, floating in the water, cracking open abalone shells by banging 
them against a rock that is resting on their chest".

Don't know why, but that's the image I always picture when I think of 
otters.  Probably from some silly "Blue Dolphin Island" or somesuch book 
  I may have read as a child.  But this isn't my therapist's office, so 
we'll just leave it there.

Sounds neat.  If you have the crappy scans, I'll take a look and see if 
I can't doodle something similar.  But I truly have no non-musical 
artistic talent at all; I have to have something to look at...

No, not at all ... but it'll be a while; I've got "family issues" for 
the next few weeks.

Now, Tux has an established "look"; regardless of pose, you always 
recognize Tux as distinguished from some other penguin (like Opus, the 
political-junkie penguin from Bloom County).  "My" rendition 
unfortunately doesn't have that sort of personality...

But, the point remains: Tux is Tux is Tux regardless of pose. 
Similarly, [*] is [*] is [*] -- whether lying on his back or sitting 
upright.

[*] cutesy name to be determined later.
